More funding, more support, less admin – Train to Gain is expanding to help you keep on training for success
Helping you through challenging times
To help your business succeed in this time of economic challenge, it’s vital that you invest in skills. Training increases productivity in the short term – and employers who don’t train are two times more likely to fail than those who do.
Train to Gain helps businesses of all sizes, in all sectors, to increase the skills of their workforce and improve the performance of their business. We can help you:
- use training to meet your short-term challenges
- emerge stronger, ready to take advantage of new opportunities
the service is supported by Business Link Advisers who are qualified to offer quality-assured, impartial and independent advice to help you:
- identify skills needs at all levels of your business
- identify and source high quality, vocational skills training
Benefit from a wide range of support
From August 2008 we enhanced our service to give you a wide range of support and more help with the cost of training.
What’s available?
Priority support for small and medium sized businesses
If you run a small or medium sized private sector business, we offer alternative packages of support to make it easier for you to carry on devloping the skills of your employees, particularly when it's most important during tougher economic times.
What’s available?
Meeting your sector-specific needs
We’re working with the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills, the Learning and Skills Council and Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) to support you as you gain the skills that matter in your business sector.
Ten SSCs have signed skills compacts with us so far and we expect more to follow over the next few months.
